I feel like I have so much I want to say but it’s just this incoherent ramble. But do you know how much it weighs on me to be the one woman on staff at GameSpot? To be one of VERY few women in the industry? To be one of ever fewer moms? To walk into press events and be the *sole* woman?

Anyway, yes, it is a reference to David Lynch whose work has been very significant to me, but I didn't pick it just because I wanted to do a shoutout, I did it because it's a reference to him very specifically and intentionally saying "trans rights are human rights" and that shit is fucking true.

Again, 5 years ago, none of these policies existed. 15 states require the forced outing of trans students 16 states ban medicaid coverage of gender affirming care 14 states have "Don't say trans" laws banning discussion of trans people's identities. 29 states have banned participation in sports.
